Lopez was driving a blue 2010 Toyota Scion that crashed into a concrete center divider, landed on its side and was struck by a red 2001 Acura CLS driven by 44-year-old Fremont resident Carmen Venegas, Fifield said.

Officers arrived to find the Toyota on a lane and the Acura in a ditch on the right shoulder, he said.

Emergency crews responded to the scene and pronounced Lopez dead at the scene, according to Fifield.

Lopez was a San Jose resident, CHP officials said.

Venegas has been arrested on suspicion of DUI, vehicular manslaughter and driving without a license, according to the CHP.

When Venegas was transported to Regional Medical Center of San Jose for minor injured sustained during the crash, it was revealed that she was allegedly under the influence of alcohol.

Two children in the Acura suffered minor injuries and were transported to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, he said.

A 34-year-old woman also inside the Acura was taken to Regional Medical Center for moderate injuries, he said.

Venegas was booked into the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas, where she is being held on $150,000 bail, according to jail records.
